Vineyard
François is an easy drinking wine named after the Estate’s winemaker, the only boy in the Combard family ... Since the acquisition of Château Barbeiranne in 2019, it is a blend of two very beautiful terroirs: La Londe’s schists soils with maritime influence, and Pignans’ clay-limestone soils, in the inland valley of the Var.
